Davina talks future and Christmas past

Davina McCall has spoken about recent changes to her life and plans for 2018.

The former face of Big Brother talked to Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield earlier today on ITV’s  This Morning about not spending the holiday season alone.

“I do always think about single people or people who are alone on those big days like Valentine’s Day, Christmas Day or New Year’s Eve. It can be an incredibly lonely period of time even if you are with a huge group of people. I thought I would do a quick message and people took that as a cry for help that I was on my own but actually Matthew and I decided, for the kids’ sake, that we would all be together this Christmas. We were all together and I wasn’t alone. But it was really sweet.”

She added that she would not be discussing her marriage in public again, saying: ‘Just for the record, I thought you would ask me. For our kids’ sake, Matthew and I have decided we don’t want to talk about us in the public eye.’

She went on to talk about her amazing new workout. Davina added: “Working out is good for the ‘noggin’. When it makes you feel really good, I like it. I have never finished and thought, ‘I wish I’d never done that!'”

Davina also paid for half the music on her new fitness video as she believes the right soundtrack helps to get you motivated. She is also studying to get a qualification in health and fitness, “I would like to take some classes. I want to show people that it’s never too late to start.”

The star also confessed she has Invisalign braces: “Midlife crisis! My lips are getting stuck to them.” In late November last year the Long Lost Family host confirmed she had separated from husband Matthew Robertson after 17 years of marriage. As well as hosting the family reunion series for ITV Davina also hosts her own talk show for UKTV channel W.

This Morning airs weekdays from 10.30am on ITV, STV and UTV.
